Parish Players’ Dramatic Improv Group
Come join us! The Parish Players are commencing monthly dramatic improv and theater games sessions. Attendance is free, and folks are welcome to attend whenever they want. Anyone interested should email Steve LeBlanc (sleblancpers@yahoo.com) to be added to the group’s email list, to receive information about upcoming sessions.
Dramatic improv is a recognized form that emphasizes grounded, honest, and vulnerable improvised acting. The goal is emotional weight and character portraiture, with any laughs serving as tension breakers rather than the main goal. We will also engage with genre-based improv, Playback Theatre, purely physical improv, various acting exercises, and comedic improv (though that is not the focus of this group). Each session will include a short “theater games” warm up.
We look forward to having fun with you at the Eclipse Grange!
We are an incorporated, not-for-profit, membership theater group based at the Eclipse Grange Theater on Thetford Hill, Vermont, staffed and run entirely by volunteers.
We've been at this continuously since 1966, when Lilla Willey introduced David and Linda Strohmier to Ed and Gillian Tyler. Together, they formed a small group of players and staged Thornton Wilder's The Long Christmas Dinner at the Thetford Hill Congregational Church -- and the Parish Players was born. In the 60 years since then, we’ve performed close to 200 productions, from classic plays to musical comedy, contemporary drama, and original plays by members of the Upper Valley community.
The Parish Players is an organization dedicated to presenting high-quality dramatic productions created by people who play for the love of the work. We are committed to offering an intimate theater venue that is accessible, affordable, and welcoming to both audiences and artists; challenging participants to stretch their abilities and expanding their understanding of theater and the world it describes; presenting new and challenging works, including those created by local artists; inspiring, encouraging, and supporting the arts and cultures of our communities; and raising expectations of community theater.
